At Last - A Christmas in the West Indies

About this book

This rare book is an obscure Victorian travel narrative set in the West Indies and written by the prolific Charles Kingsley. This illuminating text offers an insightful depiction of how the British viewed the people and lands of the Indies, wonderfully written in a way that both informs and entertains. This classic text is a worthy addition to anybody's personal library and will especially appeal to collectors of Kingsley's work. Charles Kingsley was a priest of the Church of England, a university professor, historian and novelist particularly associated with the West Country and northeast Hampshire. This book was originally published in 1872 and is proudly republished now complete with original illustrations and a new introductory biography of the author.
